Michael Tierno , Artistotele's Poetics for screenwriters

I recommend to read Tierno before reading McKee. For a more gentle introduction, and to better understand McKee.

However there ideas from Aristotele that McKee revisits and takes further such as that of the action idea which is later referred to as inciting incident. These have settle differences that nonetheless become significant when used in the story crafting context.
